lMPROVEMEN-r lN NECKTES.

The Schedule referred to inrthese Letters Patent and making part of thesam To all whom it may concern Beit known that I. Lours A. GRILL, of thecity, county', and State of New York, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Neck-Ties, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawingforming part of this speciication, and in which- Figure l representsaview in perspective of anecktie constructed in accordance with myimprovement, an i Figure 2, a sectional view of the center portion ofthe tic, in direction of the breadth or depth of the latter.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention consists in a changeable double necktie, made of twosections, the end portions of each of which may be of differentmaterials, patterns, or colois, and the two sections are arrangedtoslide through :t loop or slide, retained at either end hy stops withinor on the sections, whereby the front or exposed ends of the sectionsare made to show different colors, patterns, or materials, by simplysliding the sections either end outward, and without separation of thesections, the one from the other, to ed'eet such change.

Referring to the accompanying drawing- A and B represent tbc twodetached sections of which the neck-tie is composed, 'each section'being pointed or finished at its two ends, and each sectlon having itsend portions a and a' and b b made up of dierent materials, colors, orpatterns, forming a junction, as at c and d, the end portions a andbpreferably being of one material, and thc other end portion, a and b',being of another material, color, or pattern.

C is a loose loop, strap, or slide, through which the detached sectionsAandBare freetomove, or through which they may be slid in reversedirections, according to the end portions .of the sections it isrequired to bring in front, suitable stops e e' and f f' being pro-4vided in or on the sections A and B, near their ends,

to limit and equalize, by their striking the strap or loop G, thesliding adjustment of the sections, and to prevent the detached sectionsA and B from beingl drawn apart.

A neck-tie thus constructed may readily be made changeable, so as topresent a different material, color, or pattern at its front or exposedends, without separating the sections, the one from the other.

What is here claimed, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, s
